About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

I think I may be ever so slightly in love. CYPHER is an upcoming cyberpunk text adventure game with an ambitious if familiar promise. It claims that it'd be unlike anything you've ever played before. I'm not entirely certain if the game will deliver in that area but I'm more than willing to give it a go anyway. Set within NeoSushi, a city inspired by the popcorn movies of the 80s, CYPHER will have you struggling to stay alive even as numerous unsavory characters rush after an incomplete upload in your head. Will you succeed?

Unlike most traditional text adventures, CYPHER has been outfitted with ambient sounds and rather attractive graphics, something that may please some to know. If you're curious about the game and want to know more, the official website can be found here.
